어디서부터 왔는지
오랜 시간을 돌아와
널 만나게 됐어
의도치 않은 사고와
우연했던 먼지덩어린
별의 조각이 되어서
던질수록 커지는 질문에
대답해야 해
돌아갈 수 있다 해도
사랑해 버린 모든 건
이 별에 살아 숨을 쉬어
난 떠날 수 없어
태어난 곳이 아니어도
고르지 못했다고 해도
나를 실수했다 해도
이 별이 마음에 들어
까만 하늘 반짝이는
거기선 내가 보일까
어느 시간에 살아도
또 만나러 올게
그리워지면 두 눈을 감고
바라봐야 해
돌아갈 수 있다 해도
사랑해 버린 모든 건
이 별에 살아 숨을 쉬어
난 떠날 수 없어
태어난 곳이 아니어도
고르지 못했다고 해도
내가 실수였다 해도
이 별이 마음에 들어
언젠가 만날 그날을
조금만 기다려줄래
영원할 수 없는 여길
더 사랑해 볼게
돌아갈 수 있다 해도
사랑해 버린 모든 건
이 별에 살아 숨을 쉬어
난 떠날 수 없어
태어난 곳이 아니어도
고르지 못했다고 해도
내가 실수였다 해도
이 별이 마음에 들어
낮은 바람의 속삭임
초록빛 노랫소리와
너를 닮은 사람들과
이 별이 마음에 들어
The lyrics of Younha's song "Stardust" touch on the idea of fate and finding one's place in the universe. The singer wonders why they were born and where they came from, and reflects on how a chance encounter with stardust has led them to their current path. As they struggle with questions that seem to grow larger the more they try to answer them, the singer realizes that they cannot let go of the things and people they have loved, even if they could go back to where they came from. They also express a sense of comfort and belonging in the star that they have become a part of.
The song's chorus emphasizes this idea of unconditional love and connection to the star, even if it is not where the singer was born or where they might want to be. The singer promises to come back to the star, no matter what time or place they are in, and to continue loving it even though they know their time there is limited. The final verse adds a sense of nostalgia and longing, as the singer thinks of the people in their life who remind them of the star and how they too hold a special place in their heart.
Overall, "Stardust" is a song about finding one's sense of belonging and meaning in the world, and how our relationships with others and the universe can shape who we are.
